So we are a single week away from the 2010 Boston Marathon, and just 3 weeks away from our own marathon, the Boston to Cape Cod Relay!

Now I'm not much of a runner, that will be clear soon enough on May 1 and 2, and worse yet I'm not a "stretcher" (working on that).  I do know however, that Yoga was an integral part of my mother becoming a kick butt runner once again and that many, including Michelle and others on our team believe it is a big help. 

So, when i saw this video by friend-of-Mass-Exodus yogi Rebecca "B" Pacheco, about a pose called viparita karani, that she says is essential for runners during the days leading up to the race as well as following it, I figured I would share it. If you are into Yoga, B has her blog called "The World According to Om Gal" and the direct link to her post on this pose is here.  Thanks Rebecca.
